Tilia cordata

Foliage Deciduous
Form Round
Mature Size 15 x 9m
Family Tiliaceae
Linden Tree, Small-leaved Lime

A medium sized deciduous tree with a spreading, rounded crown. The glossy, dark green leaves are heart-shaped and turn a yellow-ish green in autumn. A native to Europe, it has attractive foliage and pendulous, fragrant, pale yellow flowers in summer, followed by small winged nutlets. The bark adds further interest with its ridges and furrows. A good nectar plant, this variety is a valuable food source for honey bees and butterflies. The flowers are also known to be used to make a soothing, fragrant tea.

This variety is mostly used as an ornamental shade tree.

Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil, but adapts to a wide range of conditions in full sun to part shade. Good tolerance for urban conditions.
